Default Any good racing games?

Are there any good racing games out right now? I haven't played one in years and I'd really like one with good graphics and solid gameplay. I know the new NFS is coming out but I've heard mixed things about it's gameplay. Are there any out at this moment?

Well NFS Pro Street is not that great in my opinion, but I loved NFS Most Wanted. It has a great storyline and great graphics. You also have a ton of customizations that you can do to your car. NFS Carbon is good, but a little under par compared to NFS Most Wanted. Although NFS Carbon has amazing graphics and I love the nighttime scenery. Old school NFS games are also really fun like NFS III and NFS: Porsche Unleashed.

depends on what you are looking for. GTR 2 is a fairly good racing sim to try out.

if you are into arcade style racing then the need for speed series isn't that bad

Yea I like arcade style better than the circuit racing simulators.

Check out Dirt, but DEFINITELY check out Flatout 2. I have Dirt, I've played the demo for the new NFS, and I have a bunch of old racers (especially the old NFS series), and for an arcade style game, I just keep going back to Flatout 2. It is definitely a very unappreciated game, probably just because it's not well marketed in the US. You could pick it up for $9.99 some places, but likely $19.99 at the local store. And Fry's might be the only place that has it.

And, your 7600GT would play FO2 on the highest settings no problem, which it looks great. Dirt on the other hand, it would have trouble with. You'd be lucky to run decent FPS at 800x600 on low. But you are getting a new card, so I guess that's kind of null... :P

Anyway, trust me, Flatout 2 is a must-have racer game.
